[ros-users] Name of the CMake variables defined by the manifest.xml

[Lorenz Mösenlechner]

Hi,

I guess you might be looking for 'rospack export'. It allows you to
get the cflags and linker flags required to compile against a library
in a ros package. Here same examples on how to get cflags and lflags:

rospack export --lang=cpp --attrib=cflags opencv2
rospack export --lang=cpp --attrib=lflags opencv2

There are some more convenience commands for cmake integration, for
instance, to get only  include directories. Rospack's wiki page will help there:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rospack

ROS' cmake toolchain uses exactly these commands. It calls rospack to
get all required flags and directories by calling rospack and adds
them to the current target flags. The corresponding cmake macros can
be found in the 'rosbuild' package.
